product term sharing help to increase the effective density of
the FLASH370i PLDs. Note that product term allocation is
handled by software and is invisible to the user.
I/O Macrocell
Each of the macrocells on the CY7C375i has a separate I/O
pin associated with it. The input to the macrocell is the sum of
between 0 and 16 product terms from the product term
allocator. The macrocell includes a register that can be
optionally bypassed, polarity control over the input sum-term,
and four global clocks to trigger the register. The macrocell
also features a se parate feed b ack path to the PIM so that the
register can be buried if the I/O pin is used as an input.
Programmable Interconnect Matrix
The Programmable Interconnect Matrix (PIM) connects the
eight logic blocks on th e CY7C375i to the inputs and to each
other. Al l inputs (includi ng feedb acks) trave l through th e PIM.
There is no speed penalty incurred by signals traversing the
PIM.
Programming
For an overview of ISR programming, refer to th e FLASH370i
Family data sheet and for ISR cable and software specifica-
tions, refer to ISR data sheets. For a detailed description of
ISR capabilities, refer to the Cypress application note, “An
Introduction to In System Reprogramming with FLASH370i.”
PCI Compliance
The FLASH370i family of CMOS CPLDs are fully compliant with
the PCI Local Bus Specification published by the PCI Special
Interest Group. The simple and predictable timing model of
FLASH370i ensures compliance with the PCI AC specifications
independent of the design. On the other hand, in CPLD and
FPGA architectures without simple and predictable timing, PCI
compliance is dependent upon routing and product term
distribution.
3.3V or 5.0V I/O Operation
The FLASH370i family can be configured to operate in both
3.3V and 5.0V systems. All devices have two sets of VCC pin s:
one set, VCCINT, for internal operation and input buffers, and
another set, VCCIO, for I/O output drivers. VCCINT pins must
always be connected to a 5.0V power supply. However, the
VCCIO pins may be connected to either a 3.3V or 5.0V powe r
supply, depending on the output requirements. When VCCIO
pins are connected to a 5.0V source, the I/O voltage levels are
compatible with 5.0V systems. When VCCIO pins are
connected to a 3.3V source, the input voltage levels are
compatible with both 5.0V and 3.3V systems, while the output
voltage levels are compatible with 3.3V systems. There will be
an additional timing delay on all output buffers when operating
in 3.3V I/O mode. The added flexibility of 3.3V I/O capability is
available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
Bus Hold Capabilities on all I/Os and Dedicated Inputs
In addition to ISR capability , a new feature called bus-hold has
been added to all FLASH370i I/Os and dedicated input pins.
Bus-hold, which is an improved version of the popular internal
pull-up resistor , is a weak latch connected to the pin that does
not degrade the device’s performance. As a latch, bus-hold
recalls the last state of a pin when it is three-stated, thus
reducing system noise in bus-interface applications. Bus-hold
additionally allows unused device pins to remain unconnected
on the board, which is particularly useful during prototyping as
designers can route new signals to the device withou t cutting
trace connections to VCC or GND.
Design Tools
Development software for the CY7C375i is available from
Cypress’s Warp®, Warp Professional™, and Warp Enter-
prise™ software packages. Please refer to the data sheets on
these products for more details. Cypress also actively
supports almost all third-party design tools. Please refer to
